Choco Mocha Chess Pie

I love chess pie, plain and simple. Yet, sometimes it's fun to bake the tried and true dessert with a little twist. I was expecting company tonight, so I decided to whip up one real quick. The ready-made pie crust looked a little snaggle-tooth, missing some of its edges. And the pie's surface cracked a wee bit, so I was a little disappointed serving it to guests. However, no one was disappointed with the flavor. This pie is "slap ya momma" delicioius!!!

P.J.O'Rourke"The South is America. The South is what we started out with in this bizarre, slightly troubling, basically wonderful country--fun, danger, friendliness, energy, enthusiasm, and brave, crazy, tough people."

Lillian Hellman"Even if they've moved away, most people who grew up in the South still consider themselves Southern."

Lee Smith "The biggest myth about Southern women is that we are frail types--fainting on our sofas...nobody where I grew up every acted like that. We were about as fragile as coal trucks."

Fred Hobson"What has always been clear, for Southerner and non-Southerner alike, is that Dixie is the most fascinating part of the country. There may be a book out there called 'The Great Midwest' or 'A Turn in the Midwest' or 'The Mind of the Midwest' or 'The Midwestern Mystique', but if there is I'm certainly not aware of it."

Florence King"I've always said that next to Imperial China, the South is the best place in the world to be an old lady."
